About Nijmegen

A fine example of a mix of modern and historical architecture (a chapel from the 15th century) can be found at the Mariƫnburg square.Anyone driving across the bridge into the centre of Nijmegen will understand why its 160,000 citizens are so proud of their city: the waterfront set against the backdrop of the city centre is a splendid sight. Past and present go hand in hand; historic buildings are interspersed with fine examples of modern architecture.

Nijmegen, the oldest city in the Netherlands, is situated on a range of hills near the River Waal. The city has attracted people since its very foundation. The surrounding area features hills, woods and polders, creating a varied countryside offering a range of recreational opportunities to both citizens and tourists.

This website tells you all there is to know on Living, Working, Student life and Leisure in Nijmegen. The website has a special section for expatriates (thinking of) living and working in our city.

Discover Nijmegen and enjoy!
